Administrators currently manage city firewalls from the same in-band production networks used by employees. Which management approach is preferred where practical?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Don’t drive the fire truck from the crowded freeway if you can use a private service road. Out-of-band management keeps admin access off the same roads attackers and malware already ride.
Full Explanation
Out-of-band or otherwise isolated management networks reduce the likelihood that production-network compromise immediately yields administrative control of security devices. Combined with strong authentication and constrained jump hosts, OOB management is a standard control for protecting network security components. Internet-exposed or guest-network cleartext administration contradicts secure management practice.
